For those interested,, I own Hawkeye Gun Range, just outside the edge of Lake Lure. It's a private range,, except when we are having our monthly USPSA Level I match. You can find us on the USPSA.org site,, if details are desired. We shoot 7 stages monthly, (unless the weather makes a bay unsafe,) with at least one of them being a Classifier. We hold our matches the 3rd Saturday of each month.
Registration is on Practiscore,, or on site starting at 9 am. Shooters safety meeting at 10:00 am.

You do not have to be a member of USPSA to shoot a match. New shooters are always welcome!
 
We have been holding matches here for over 10 years now. Yes,, it's a lot of work,, and we are always looking to improve things. The more folks who shoot with us,, allows us to put more money back into the range.
Thanks for the post!
 
I shot there a few times. Good people and a fun time every time Ive been there.

Yes,, Hawkeye does allow PCC. It is a USPSA division, and we are an affiliated club.

As mentioned above,, I own the range. It is private,, as I can't be there all the time to run it. So,, it's not open to public use,, except for the USPSA matches, or other special events we hold. We do instruction classes, occasional special gatherings,, (Such as the Ruger Forum East Coast Gathering,) etc.
I have 7 pistol bays,, as long as the weather doesn't make one unusable. Example; for the December match,, we'd had enough rain to where bay 3 had standing water of about 2-3 inches where the targets would have been.
We have various props to allow challenges for USPSA competition.
Basically, we hold USPSA Level I matches,, where people can enjoy a competition AND,, if necessary,, learn how to shoot USPSA. Once a year we hold a Classifier match,, to allow folks to possibly move up a class, or classify in a different division.
Match fee is $20 per competitor,, and we allow some competitors to shoot (2) categories, (such as PCC & Limited,) as long as it doesn't cause a squad to slow down the match. Normally we only have 1-3 people do this,, occasionally.

Visitors are welcomed always to watch a match. Eye & ear protection required.

NO,, and I mean NO carrying a loaded gun on the range,, including the parking area on match day. No gun handling anywhere except at a safety bay, or under the direct supervision of a Range Officer. This is for everybody's safety. The ONLY exception is a uniformed LEO while on duty. Most folks with CCW will unload & secure their CCW firearm just prior to entering the range. There is pull off spot right before the range entrance. If you feel the need to carry a firearm,, then sign up for the match & follow the USPSA rules about equipment. You'll have your gun & ammo on your person.
THIS IS A SAFETY RULE & NOT NEGOTIABLE.

Further info can be found on the USPSA site,, or PM me if you have a specific question.
 
Despite the gloom & doom weather forecasters make,, it appears we'll be fine for tomorrow's match. Stages are built. New folks welcome!!!
 
While the weather scare kept some folks away,, as well as the ammo shortage,, we had a very fun day. We were all laughing & picking on one another in my squad to where it almost had me hurting from laughter.
We had a few new visitors,, and I'm sure they will return,, & shoot with us!
